Apart from compile, acceptance test, and bug problems, most new users will probably only be interested in this mailing list (unless they want to contribute to development or documentation). All non-bug related questions regarding PostgreSQL's version of SQL, and all installation related questions that do not involve bugs or failed compiles, should be restricted to this area. Please note that many of the developers monitor this area.

It’s in pgarchives. It’s not accessible via the Django admin. I believe
Magnus would have to handle it.

Not even that, it comes out of pglister. For the second par tthat is. The first part of the suggestion is in the pgarchives code, isn't it?

That said, I had this one on my list and was hoping to see some people comment on if it was a good idea or not. I'm less sure about the second change -- but if others are, then I will of course go ahead and make the change :)
